💖 gnutls_x509_crq_print(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual, and it's genuinely one of the cutest little functions in the whole x509 situation — it takes a certificate request and makes it pretty for human eyeballs. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crq_print — API function 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crq_print(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq,
gnutls_certificate_print_formats_t format, gnutls_datum_t * out);

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• gnutls_x509_crq_t crq — the data to be printed, aka the whole reason we're here 💜
• gnutls_certificate_print_formats_t format — tells us which format to use, so like, pick your vibe ✨
• gnutls_datum_t * out — a newly allocated datum holding a null terminated string. it's giving "here's your output, go look at it" 🫶

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so the way this works: this function will pretty print a certificate request, suitable for display to a human. that's it, that's the whole serve. it takes that crunchy machine-readable blob and turns it into something your eyes can actually read 😭✨

⚠️ okay but listen — the output out needs to be deallocated using gnutls_free(). do NOT forget this. leaking memory is not the main character energy we're going for, bestie 💀

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value. so if you get a 0, slay. if you get something negative, that's your sign to go read the error 👀

🌈 SINCE 🌈
